Thomas commented on Maria Hinojosa: One-on-One on 08.19.10
This man is misleading and prejudiced to say the least. He describes the recent immigration issue as "particularly nasty" in other terms they have a different opinion. Likewise he implies that if you didnt support Barack Obama your a "white racist and even supremacist and that your motivated by such groups. Its ludicrous. He is a twisted man who likes to bring up sodomy in a hate crime pointing out that he must wear a colostomy bag. he thinks of Latinos heritage consists of Cesar Chaves and the farm workers movement. He is the racist, a out of touch story teller. Many Many hate crimes occur against whites but not once does he demonize the other. The fact is he likes to focus on race as the main issue in any democratic scenario.

According to hate crime statistics published annually by the FBI, anti-Latino hate crimes rose by almost 35% between 2003 and 2006, the latest year for which statistics are available. Mark Potok, a former USA Today reporter, is the director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project, which monitors hate groups and extremist activity throughout the US. Potok and Hinojosa look at the possible reasons behind the disturbing rise in anti-Latino incidents.
